Top tips for hiring a car at Bismarck airport

  • A nice feature of car rental at Bismarck Airport (BIS) is that there are three major rental car companies that all have locations on-site at the airport. Travelers will find the customer service counters for these rental car agencies in the terminal building next to the baggage claim area. All the cars that are available for rent are parked in the lot just outside of the baggage claim area.
  • This airport does offer a few options for transportation from the airport to the center of the city. This includes bus and taxi service that is available. The challenge with taking a bus is it if you have a large group of travelers or have a lot of luggage this can be a somewhat troubling method of travel. Taxis are a good choice for convenience but the cost of taking this method of transportation can start to add up quickly. That is what makes car rental at Bismarck Airport such a good combination of great price and convenience.
  • Turning your rental car rental at Bismarck Airport is easy. As you approach the airport on University Drive, you'll see ample signage taking you to Terminal Boulevard. Once you are on Terminal Boulevard proceed to the parking lots that are adjacent to the terminal building and park your car in an appropriate stall for your rental car company. Once you're done parking note your mileage and your gas level, collect up your belongings, and then lock the car and drop your keys and your contract in the provided dropbox for your rental car company.
  • The airport in Bismarck notes that some of the busiest times you will find here are early in the morning between 5 am and 8 am and then again in the mid-afternoon hours from around 2 pm to 5 pm. During these times when the airport is busier, you may experience longer wait times to pick up a Bismarck Airport car rental. That is why it is so important that you book a reservation with one of these rental companies before your flight to make sure there's a car waiting for you when you arrive.
  • Book your car hire at Bismarck airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about hiring a car at Bismarck airport

  • What type of documents will I need to rent a car at this airport?

    If you are a traveler from anywhere in the United States, all you will need to do is present your valid driver's license with the name of the person renting a car on the license. If you are from a country other than the United States, you can use your license from that country and also another form of identification such as a passport.

  • If I rent a car at this airport, am I allowed to take the car across the border into Canada?

    Most of the rental car companies here will allow you to take the car across the border into Canada without restriction. It is important to let them know you will be taking the car across the border as they will need to provide you with a non-resident insurance card for the trip. There may be a limit as to which type of car you can rent if you plan on taking the car into Canada.

  • What are some of the amenities I will find in the rental car area of this airport?

    Because the rental car companies have locations on-site in the terminal building travelers can use all the amenities of the terminal building while they rent their car. At this airport, people will find ATMs, a number of concession stands, free baggage carts, and nursing stations that include electrical outlets in a private area for nursing moms.

  • Which car hire companies will pick you up at Bismarck airport?

    Car hire companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Bismarck airport to off-airport locations include Avis, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and Hertz.

The rental experience with Enterprise was outstanding! There were "no cars" available at Bismarck when we arrived to pick up the car, but the attendant did her best and somehow found us one. However, about half way into the one-way trip, we had mechanical issues with the car. We called the Enterprise hotline and they asked if we were able to continue driving the car. We were close to the Rapid City Airport, so we drove it there. When we arrived, the computers were down. Despite that, the professionals at Enterprise took care of us and provided a replacement vehicle for us. There were no further issues and we were able to enjoy the rest of our itinerary. We HIGHLY recommend Enterprise!

I had a truck reserved but let them switch me to a sedan, due to shortage of trucks. The truck offers more space and comfort but I was nice and let them switch

Car was great and got good mileage. Checkout was fast. Turn in was a little vague, in that the parking for return was different than the parking for pickup.

1. I had no idea they would charge me another $150.00 for a second driver. 2. It took them almost a week to send me an e-mail with the final charges after I turned the car in. 3. This is the first time I was not given unlimited mileage, I resent that.
